IMPROVEMENT IN SAW' FOR SAWING FELLIES.

new

The Schedule referred to in. these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

ing a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the two saws on their shaft, and

Figure 2 is a side elevation of one of the saws.

This invention has for its object to saw, out of plank, fellies or other pieces that require to be curved in the direction of their length, and, at the saine time, to have straight sides.

The invention consists in a dish or saucer-shaped circular saw, of which ltwo or more are placed on one shaft, and which are of such shape as to give a concavo-couvex form, or that of a telly, to any piece of wood that may b e passed between them, when such saw is prpvided with a number of curved notches in its n'm, of considerably greater depth and length than iis teeth, by which notches the teeth are divided oi into separate sections, of equal length, theteeth not conforming to the curvature of thel body of the saw, but being all arranged as though upon a plane saw, perpendicular to its axis, by which arrangement the sides ofthe fellies are cnt straight, and when the said notches are furnished with cutting-edges, which smooth the marks ofthe saw-teeth o' the fellies.

In the drawing- A is the shaft.

a a, the dish-saws-` b, the notches, made at regular intervals'in the riin` angles as though they belonged to a saw vertical to its axis.'

This arrangement enables the teeth to cut the sides of the fellies straight, that is, perpendicular to each other.

A dish-saw with teeth conforming to its curvature would out fellies with rounded sides, which would afterward have to be squared oii.

The cutting-edges o, one of which follows each section of teeth, dress the sides of the fellies, turning out y a finished article at one operation.

vThe tendency ofthe teeth d is to cut' straight kei-fs, and if they were in a continuous row, the saw would be unable to cut curved pieces, notwithstanding its dish-shape. Consequently, the teeth are divided off into sections, with the notches b between, in order to intermit, at regular intervals, the tendency of the teeth to out straight pieces, and allow the dish-shape of the saw to exercise its natural function ot' cnttingcurved pieces.

Having thus described my. invention,

,What I claim as new,'and desire to secure by Letrters Patent, is-

1. A dish-saw, provided with notches l) in its. pe-

riphery, at regular intervals, dividing the teeth into sections, when thevteeth are set as though upon a plane saw, substantially as described, andfor the purpose of cutting curved pieces of wood with straight sides.

moving from the fellies the marks ofthe saw-teeth.
